UK will use up its fair share of global carbon budget in just 5 years, if consumption emissions included
That’s the reality
That’s the inconvenient truth
That’s why we urgently need new Climate & Ecology Act, in line with the science
From my debate on #CEEBill@CEEbill_NOW 👇
“Our ambition is to be a net zero bank by 2050” @Barclays
Wake up Barclays - 2050 is much too late. We’ll be consistently at +1.5C by 2030.

Banks pumped more than $150bn in to companies running ‘carbon bomb’ projects in 2022 https://t.co/3OUvX5EoIq
Remaining Carbon budget is now tiny.
“Temperature records have been obliterated in 2023, with extreme weather supercharged by global heating hitting lives and livelihoods across the world”

🚨BREAKING 🚨
Jury acquits 5 members of Extinction Rebellion for 2019 Treasury Fire Engine. Crown drops remaining trials after Judge indicates prosecutions ‘not in the public interest’
Whenever we face a trial by jury, we are found NOT GUILTY!
There's so much disinformation about offshore wind. The biggest threat to whales & our oceans is climate change caused by burning coal oil & gas. Plus offshore oil + gas has risks re seismic testing, drilling, oil spills. Offshore wind, if done right, is part of the solution.
🚨 BREAKING: Norwegian oil giant @Equinor just announced £6.6 billion in profits for the past 3 months.
Thanks to generous tax breaks, UK taxpayers will now effectively cover 91% of the costs for Equinor to develop the Rosebank oil field.
That's around a £3bn tax break for Equinor.
EVs - definitely part of the answer.
“While not having a car has even larger climate benefits, many peoples’ ability to go car-free is limited by their circumstances and the availability of alternatives”
Today we’re supporting a global movement of over 200 health journals who are calling on world leaders to treat climate change and biodiversity loss as parts of the same problem that must be tackled together.

NEW: Africa’s extreme weather has killed at least 15,000 people in 2023🌍
My investigation uses disaster data and UN humanitarian reports to map Africa's extreme weather this year – and speaks to scientists about the links to climate change

“The West Antarctic ice sheet is already contributing substantially to global sea-level rise and is losing about 80 billion tonnes of ice a year. It contains enough ice to cause up to 5 metres of sea-level rise”

“Shrinking from climate action will send the wrong message to the world - when the power of our example can show that clean energy means lower bills for families, energy independence for our country, more jobs, & will protect future generations.”
